The purpose of this study was to find out whether looking after mothers in a birth chair during the second stage of labour had advantages over looking after mothers in a normal delivery bed. One hundred and seventy-five women were randomly allocated. Otherwise care resembled the everyday care given in the hospital. Mothers were more satisfied with the birth chair than they were with the delivery bed. With regard to the progress of labour and delivery, and the health of the child and mother, the groups were fairly similar.
